This is the Berg as I first saw it. That's the day I fell in love with this beautiful place and decided to write about it. 

In this photo, the Berg lies in the background. The green house in the front. You can still see the horse trough on the first floor.

Whaley House Theater in Old Town San Diego.  When I first saw this theater, I knew I wanted in my story and while I wasn't sure I would get permission to shoot my cover there. I spent a lot of time describing this very theater.  When the S.O.H.O. Foundation gave  me permission to shoot my cover there, I was overjoyed.

This painting of the Berg, which is the Whippoorwill Ridge Inn from the book, was painted by Elizabeth Williams. Seven generations of the Williams family lived at the Berg. 

This is the fireplace in the great room.  You see the hallway just beyond and that leads to the theater.

This advertisement hangs at the back of the Whaley House Theater.

Here you can see the stone walls in the kitchen and the very deep windowsills. Note the gourds on the wall. While visiting the Berg, I was shown several very old photos of the same fireplace, and those gourds were in every one, so they haven't been moved in probably 50 years.

This is the bedroom above where the theater would be.  This would have been Parker's room.  While it would have been perfectly clean if Gertrude lived there, this photo was taken when the house was up for sale and the previous owner was in the midst of packing.  Note the beautiful floors.
